Brought to you by members of the curator team of Old Tone Roots Music Festival comes a new daylong musical odyssey dedicated to a very particular sound. A tone that hangs over high wide mountain tops, sinking down into narrow hollers, and wading through damp winding bayous. A sound that stumbles into the hooch-houses of Storyville and around the smokey tables of Chez Florence. It wafts over the lush breezy islands of the Pacific and Caribbean and it roars in the swirling swollen ocean itself that connects them all: a syncopated melodic longing that can’t be restrained. A grainy, warm, spirited Voodoo vibrato that pulses with soul and sass through decade after decade of music from the Americas and their surrounding ports of call.
The Stagecoach Tavern will be serving casual food options 11am-5pm and Authentic Eats by Oleg will have delicious menu available in the barn 5-10pm (see more info below).
Featured Artists Include
Jackson Lynch Band, Tjovi Ginen, Rose & The Bros, The Lucky 5, Fatboy Wilson & Old Viejo Bones, Slowey & The Boats, The Haughties, Moonshine Holler, Shinbone Alley

Race Brook Lodge is a hidden gem in The Berkshires, at the foot of Mt. Race and a short hike from the Appalachian trail. The yoga & event barn at Race Brook is simultaneously rustic and sublime, steeped in hundreds of years of New England history. The Stagecoach Tavern is unpretentious fine dining, exquisite farm-to-table cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Much of the food is sourced from Race Farm, right on the property!
